Becky, your hint is horrible! :-)

Until Becky comes along, did you know that there is a walkthrough for the game here?

It sounds like an interesting game.

Hi Tomer --

I wanted to make it a very soft hint because I know you don't like spoilers!

I guess it was too soft.



If you download the official Strategy Guide, (scroll down the page to see the Strategy Guide link) it explains what they are looking for in the riddles.

These riddles, like most of the others I've encountered in adventure games, are VERY difficult puzzles because words are such cheats and illusions. What the riddle writer sees in words is often very different from what I see in words.

Riddles attempt to obfuscate, and sometimes they do a better job that the riddler is thinking they are doing.

At least it's not too easy, right?

EDIT: -- the Strategy Guide has some background story information at the beginning. The walkthrough part begins on page 10.

If you like, I can post the riddle challenge answers here in a spoiler if you'd rather not look yourself.

Thanks, Becky. I was pretty sure that Tomer didn't want a walkthrough.

No, I don't want a walkthrough, but I would appreciate a hint that would take me forwards :-)
I just don't know what to make of it... and since I've tried all doors already, desperate me, I can only assume it's about guessing the correct sequence, or finding a hidden entrance... either way... I wouldn't know how Indians would analyze their hints, but to me they mean nothing :-)

It sure was a great game I finished it a while back and couldn't have done it without looking at the WT every once in a while. One of the hardest games I have ever played.

Tomer, I just started playing so I am not that far yet to give you a hint. Hopefully someone that has will be able to help you soon.

Ana

The numbers above the doors, from what I can tell, are

I didn't figure this out on my own -- I got through the door by sheer luck, and then later on looked back at the strategy guide. Here's how the strategy guide numbers the doors:



If that's not enough help, I can tell you that



If that's not enough, let me know and I'll post what the strategy guide says under another spoiler tag.

Thank you, Becky.

Thanks a lot Becky.
Even after reading your three hints, I wasn't able to solve it without guessing the doors - and I tried that only because you said it's not about a sequence.

I still don't get it.
The head said "it's not perfection, but completion you must seek", so I tried googeling Sanskrit completion, I tried "8", I tried 5, I tried 7, and eventually the last door I tried was "1" and it worked... lol.
That's not Rhem, my dear :-)

Thanks again!

Glad you got through! I agree that riddles often can be interpreted any which way. I haven't encountered any more riddles in this game (that I can recall).

According to the strategy guide, the riddle you got says

Well, I would sum it up as a very bad puzzle
Right now, I'm stuck at the library,

Still seeking perfection?

You know I admire your brains and persistence.


(Let me know if you want a hint for the picture arrangement puzzle.)

I'm playing Pahelika Revelations and really love the game but am stuck. There is a story in a journal which I believe should match a tile puzzle I am working on. Question is should the tiles match the journal as written or the logic of the story in the journal? Hope I am explaining this right. Thanks Becky this is a great game!!!

Hi Rockinjranch, have you checked the strategy guide here?

I am not that far yet in the game so I am not sure.

Ana

A bit off topic, but how does the demo compare to the remaining stages? Is it much easier or about the same?

I haven't played the game, Core, so am not in a position to answer your question. I'm sure others will be able to weigh in on this.

Rockinjranch -- Does it follow the story in the journal or the logic? Well, The only thing confusing about the first two tiles is that

I recommend arranging the first 8 tiles

Marian mentioned another walkthrough earlier in this thread -- it's here.


Core -- assuming that the demo is the beginning of the game, it is easier than the rest of the game which to me became quite difficult in the section with the house and all its out-of-the-box security precautions.

And it wasn't exactly easy even before that.

Me again, needing help:
I'm in the academy. There are these word puzzles to solve.
My question is, am I supposed to somehow know everyone and everything in the game in order to solve it? I read the hints. Well, I don't know "Rullul Jallul" good enough nor do I know what "Bluuguulll mujjuuulll" real name is... I don't quite follow the plot... can I solve it despite that or will I have you telling me the answer? :-)

"There's definitely definitely definitely no logic to human behaviour."

Or to this game apparently. <g>

Gil.

lol, oh no... is that a hint for me, traveler? Should I then simply consult a walkthrough?

(did I mention this game has nothing to do with Rhem other than being a 1-person game? :-) )

**Update: I have :-\ It actually made since, this puzzle!

No, tomer, no hint. It was just my screwy sense of humor. <g>

Gil.

Well, when you put it that way... let me put it this way: I just downloaded the game (legally, of course). I like a challenge.

Good luck, Core! It sounds like a very challenging game. Let us know how it goes.

Core -- good for you! I hope the challenge lives up to expectations.

I'm done with the game. Well, it was somewhat entertaining, but hardly an "adventure"...
Some of the puzzles were nice, some exhausting. Some a little more creative, some less.

Things I found hardest:


By the way, I had a strange bug along the game - the speaking in the cut scenes kept getting stuck. Did anyone else have that? I didn't really had the energy to bother with it, but it was kind of annoying...

That was fast! I haven't reached that middle challenge in the spoiler tag yet.

Something to look forward to.

I did not have the trouble you mentioned with the cut scenes.

Hello! Can anyone tell me why I can't get the lock on the stone house to open? I have collected all five hints, have read a walk through and have placed them in every configuration I can think of. Some help would be appreciated. : >)

to GameBoomers, cwyldy. Hopefully one of the players of this game will come along and offer you some assistance.

Thanks, Marlan

There are two car rim look alikes that look very similar. One has a hole in the center and the other doesn't. Be sure you don't have them mixed up.

Ana

OK, I finally got it! Thanks any way.

Glad you got it!

Ana

Wow, that number spinner puzzle is brutal. I finally cheated a bit...

I haven't gotten there yet, but it sounds tough!

Impressive!
I just tried it till it worked :-)
